As I post these I am even more and more convinced that there is something else at work with the Lyft matching algorithm. I run both apps evenly, and my Ignore criteria is the same on both apps for the most part.

Hey Mista T, what specifically are you referring to regarding the Lyft matching?

The matching....

Maybe its just me. I have long stated that my uber:lyft ratio is about 1:1. During Peak hours it is less on lyft, but throughout the week that ratio holds up. This week my ratio was almost 2:3 in favor of Lyft. How is that possible? Many other drivers have a much higher Uber ratio. My "Lyft luck" isnt just this week, i seem to get a lot more lyft than uber frequently. But why?????

Either Uber is shafting me, or Lyft is favoring me, or I am an ongoing statistical anomaly. I have pondered various reasons over the last year, and have some ideas why, but there is no way to confirm anything.

Ask me at the meeting tomorrow, i will share my ideas on why it may be, and you guys can give me your thoughts and input.
